The Royal House of Kanaani: Founding and Compassion

The Times of Israel Blogs · Mikhail Salita · October 7, 2026

In his October 7, 2026 post on The Times of Israel Blogs, Rabbi Mikhail Salita explains why he established the Royal House of Kanaani. He presents the House as a cultural and preservation institution connecting Jerusalem, the modern Kanaani breed and the feline imagery associated with King Solomon’s throne.

A cultural inheritance

The article describes a symbolic succession, rather than a scientifically demonstrated pedigree reaching back to an ancient palace cat. Its ceremonial titles express dignity and a commitment to preserving a living lineage.

The Crown of Compassion

Salita places animal welfare at the center of the House’s philosophy. Veterinary care, responsible breeding, genetic diversity and documented pedigrees give practical meaning to its cultural identity. His role as Royal Custodian reflects the responsibility to protect the cats and support future generations.
